u.s. officials tell us, saying they're among a group of over 400 migrants dhs identified in the u.s. from tajikistan, uzbekistan, moldova, kyrgyzstan, georgia and russia as subjects of concern because they were brought to the u.s. by an isis affiliated smuggling network, something the fbi director warned about earlier this year. some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have isis ties that we're very concerned about. ice has located and arrested over 150 of the 400 migrants. so far, with some already deported from the u.s. officials say, adding authorities are not panicking because their ties to isis are not certain. but they're prioritizing their arrest out of an abundance of caution. the problem is the volume of people coming across the southern border, individuals from isis and other affiliated groups have recognized it as a weak point in our defense, and they're using this opportunity to try to sneak in. nbc news was first to report on a similar arrest of an uzbek man in baltimore, whose country alerted the u.s. he was affiliated with isis. that man, like the oth

i mean, so the end of the u.s. it's hurting u.s. companies interest.they are not able to sell to chinese market, but leading european firms filling in chinese market share and at the same time, you are actually incentivized to become so down on creating advanced technology that can compete with the u.s. mean so firms i have to like huawei and zte just all the export restriction as a strategic gift to this businesses so they are you know doing very well you know, trying to fill in the gap that left by the us firms. so there's not like very thought consequence and all the us side of what these export restriction is actually leading to, particularly in the media in the longer. so i'm say seeing that you know in that respect the dynamic pyramid model seem to apply to you know, those aspects of u.s. regulatory governance and control. but you know, query you know what we can do about it at the moment and this is a particularly concerning if you think about you know the line between what is national security and commercial application this includes and we blu

the u.s. economy has been growing at a steady clip outpacing a lot of the industrialized countries across the world. that really does leave more room for the fed and i think that means the bond investors will have to be more patient. sonali: you think about how volatile this year could be for circumstances that have nothing to do with the fed's control like the u.s. election moving forward. the picture for next year for those betting on longer-term bonds right now, the fiscal picture has still been quite dire in many ways because they were concerns about the u.s. debt load and it's made art for people to made that truck -- to make that trade into the longer end of the curve. will there be more confidence or uncertainty ahead? >> elections are always times of uncertainty. this is not just in the united states but across the globe. there will be more fluctuations around november election time and depending what the outcome of the election is about impending policies and policy changes. once the

u.s. nuclear spending. before introduce our panelists i have a few comments. he table for our conversation. rrell provided earlier an overview of international situation. the essentials are pretty simple. the two key pf new start .26. in russia's refusal to engage as a follow-on. ■! also a change in the trajectoryu on united states in this ability. some argue the united states should begin preparation and nuclear warheads which would further act on top of this modernization and they are substantial. this year alone within the biden administration's budget request there's an allocation of $59 billion for nuclear weapons operations sustainment and modernization which is increase of 22% over year's and that's cost dod and nsa. and among what the pentagon classifies as major defense acquisition programs the nuclear component is now at least about a quarter, so earlier this year the pentagon acknowledged a representative mentioned has risens by 37%. now had the somewhere 18 and $25 billion. on

the u.s. and russia. they must recognize and respond to the overwhelming view of non-weapon states that the p-5 are failing to meet and even consciously ignoring their obligations under the non-proliferation treaty. let me say a little bit about what we should expect and demand from the non-nuclear weapon states. i'm impressed by the way that the non-weapons states parties to the n.p.t. have stepped up in recent years. they correctly concluded that arms control initiatives are urgently needed, so urgently that the initiative should not rest only with the p-5. one result was the treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons,ed a admirable if imperfect document. non-weapon states need now to step up higher if we are to preserve the essential norms of global security. as the late michael crapon described them, these are the norms against use or threats of use, against nuclear testing and against the transfer and proliferation of nuclear weapons. so let's be specific. when president putin and his b

fifth, active u.s.ination with and partners is indispensab for long-term security and sea region the u.s. black sea security and development strategy will instrumental in this regard. allow me to expand on the ideas presented previously. first, the unique character of russia's aggressionn the b■■■ ■k region. i like the other regions the world+in against the rules-based international order are still below the threshold of full war. the black sea is, as speak, the locion of armed aggression by a great power. the effect of russia's cascading, and mutually are being challenged by russiaed in the black sea■) law, stateref navigation, just to name only a few. for my second argument i would like to draw your attention tol, moscow's aggreio clear political aims. it seeks to create an alternativehere states have limited sovereignty, great powers unilaterally imposed against their will, and trade and technology are weaponized by the outcome of rus challenge to the rules-based international order in the black seai

the u.s. and europe. first off, let's check on how the asia trading day is shaping up. pretty tepid end to the week. most markets either flat or in modestly negative territory. the nikkei flat as we went to the break. very weak yen, closing out, 1:59 at the moment. cpi in japan accelerated after two months of slowing, but once you take out energy and food prices, the picture is somewhat different. take a look at china, particularly the csi 300. that's on a five-week losing streak right now. we are set up now for the first week in two months. the index really stuck in its 100 200-day moving average, approaching oversold territory. the rebound we saw in the hang seng not extending to today. we have the hang seng off by 1.5% at the moment. let's talk a little more about japan's inflation. it did accelerate last month, as i mentioned, after the government increased renewables, and that result that's the case for the central bank to raise rates again in the coming months, or does it? let's get more

for example, if the u.s. is -- if the u.s. conventional forces are converted to a different theater, what does that mean for the allies? will they have to step up and contribute more conventionally? i think the question is really flexibility. it seems that is what nato wants more of in its nuclear posture. there are a couple of options i am hearing about. to be clear, i do not agree with all of these. i am putting them out to keep it spacey. the first one would be supplemental or new nuclear capabilities on the part of the united states. nuclear cruise missiles. nuclear variance. or other variability's? another option would be another important nuclear actor in nato, which is the uk. for example, if the uk wanted to add a fifth vote or add another leg back to his delivery platforms, because there are some pretty serious financial and domestic constraints on that. that is another option. another one would be to expand the nuclear sharing mission within europe. poland has obviously indicated an interest in that. but another opti
